Stephanie Hopper

My lessons are designed to be highly personalized and centred around your unique learning style, goals, and needs. I take a humanistic, person-centred approach to teaching, which means that I tailor each lesson specifically to you, ensuring a comfortable and supportive environment where you feel empowered to learn at your own pace.

In terms of format, my lessons typically begin with a clear outline of what we will cover, followed by a mix of engaging activities that can range from conversational practice to structured grammar exercises, listening and reading comprehension, or tailored assignments based on your progress. I prioritize interactive learning, focusing on real-world applications of language skills, such as improving fluency in conversation or enhancing writing and comprehension for academic or professional purposes.

With a background in humanistic counselling, I bring empathy and understanding to my teaching, which has been especially effective when working with neurodivergent students and those from diverse backgrounds, including refugees. My experience includes teaching English as a foreign language to various age groups, including children and adults, in one-on-one and group settings. This allows me to adapt quickly to different learning environments and student needs.

My aim is to help you feel confident and engaged as you progress toward your language goals. Whether you're preparing for an exam, seeking to improve everyday conversation, or developing professional language skills, each lesson will be tailored to provide you with a meaningful and enjoyable learning experience.
